7 p. 5 EN : what will we remember about this year? Much has been done, particularly in Africa, for the health of the poorest poor, who have always been the focus of our attention and work. We spend each day in hospital helping women give birth, caring for the newborn in the first critical days of their lives, treating patients with HIV/AIDS, tuberculosis and malaria, and dealing with all emergencies that occur, while continuing daily training of local healthcare staff. From South Sudan to Angola, from Mozambique to Sierra Leone, our aid workers go to the remotest villages to visit women at the end of their pregnancies, immunise children, build awareness in the communities about good health practices, and distribute medicines. They also train the African doctors of the future at university and teach at nursing and midwifery schools, to increase the number of skilled healthcare staff. The first steps have been made in the extensive Mothers and children first programme, through which we are committed to guarantee free access to safe child delivery and neonatal care. In less than one year, we have achieved excellent results: our staff have assisted 20,347 births, meaning that approximately 40,700 mothers and children have been seen in four hospitals in the reference areas (Aber in Uganda, Chiulo in Angola, Tosamaganga in Tanzania and Wolisso in Ethiopia). These impressive figures reflect our sincere concern for the neediest people at the very bottom of the list. Behind these numbers are faces, lives, smiles, trials. Strong partnership and cooperation have been developed with the local churches and governments; extensive surveys, studies and research have been carried out to make sure we meet the needs of the poorest poor without imposing a model from above. Among this year s salient moments in Africa, I clearly recall the launch of the Public health project, in Wolisso, Ethiopia on 2th May. Taking part in the event were the Ethiopian Minister of Health, Mr. Tedros Adanom, the President of the Ethiopian Episcopal Conference, His Eminence Mons. Souraphiel Berhaneyesus, Prof. Romano Prodi, and the former Italian Minister of Foreign Affairs, Giulio Terzi, together with a large number of local inhabitants and representatives of the Italian and local press. During the event, a joint memorandum was signed, in support of the intervention to safeguard mother-child health, by the Italian Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the Ethiopian Ministry of Health, the Ethiopian Episcopal Conference and Doctors with Africa CUAMM. Then in June we inaugurated Caia hospital in Mozambique, following its renovation by the Consortium of Associations of Mozambique (CAM) of Trento, which works in partnership with CUAMM. With its 107 beds, the hospital provides care and help to a catchment area of 130,000 people. The President of the Republic of Mozambique, Mr. Emilio Armando Guebuza, took partin the event. Lastly, we officially launched the Mothers and children first project at Aber Hospital (Oyam district - Uganda) in August. An intense, well attended ceremony accompanied the inauguration, in the presence of the Ugandan Minister of Health, Christine Ondoa. The Italian agenda was also packed with events, with a single purpose: to make Doctors with Africa CUAMM, its projects and style of intervention known to the widest possible public, in order to involve as many people as possible in this adventure of serving the last on the list. The hearing with Pope Benedict XVI in May, with its delegation of 400 people; the meeting with the Italian Minister for Cooperation, Mr. Andrea Riccardi, at the CUAMM headquarters; the street events, such as African Day, and the many and varied group initiatives throughout Italy. Our participation at the preview of Carlo Mazzacurati s documentary film, Doctors with Africa, at the 69th Film Festival in Venice is a very emotional memory. This highly stimulating film, with its insights into the life and style of CUAMM, recounts the experiences and motivations of several of our doctors, illuminated by the profound eye of one of Italy s best directors. A tour to distribute the film followed, in the main cities of Italy. The year ended with our annual meeting, held in Rome on 15th December. Taking part in the event were authorities, supporters, experts and numerous illustrious guests, including the Ugandan Minister of Health, Christine Ondoa. It marked a milestone in the Doctors with Africa CUAMM journey, and an opportunity to present the results achieved in the first year of the Mothers and children first programme. But above all, it was a chance to set a new challenge for the future, for all those wishing to accompany us down to the last mile of the African continent.
